For more than 20 years, Parks worked at the photo desk of Life magazine, where he snapped timeless images of the segregated South, gangs in Harlem and iconic personalities including Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and the Black Panthers. His works remain significant social statements, and the Gordon Parks Foundation and photography institutions across the country, including ICP, work to preserve his legacy and immense talent.

"Gordon Parks: 100 Years" will be at New York's ICP (1133 Avenue of the Americas) until Jan. 6, 2013.
